Abstract
Compact and portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors of high sensitivities can be made through integration of discrete components in a single device. We report on a device comprising a vertical cavity light emitting diode (VLED) integrated with gold-based biosensing nanostructures fabricated atop its surface. Coupling of surface plasmon waves was achieved by the introduction of a spacer SiO2 layer located between the light source and the functionalized Au thin film. The SPR signal was extracted in far field with a Au-based nanograting and detected using a custom designed hyperspectral imager. We discuss the performance of a VLED-based SPR device employed for detection of different concentration saltwater solutions.
